Trust me this one will be shorter. The first underrated sub genre is trance. While trance saw a lot of popularity in the 90s, it just is not as popular now. Trance is uplifting and its fills are noticeable to the genre. Here is an example of trance made now. The next type of underrated EDM is called future bass. While again this genre is quite popular, I feel the original artists are the most underrated of all. Future bass is a sub genre of trap music as it does use 808s but it also has one of those sounds that are very unique to the genre itself. Here is an example of underrated future bass. The next type of EDM that is underrated is called jackin’ house. Jackin’ house is a genre of house that came around the time that house came about in the 90s. It is hard hitting and simple. It can vary in styles depending on the artist. Here is an example of jackin’ house. The fourth type of underrated EDM is drumstep. Drumstep is a subgenre of drum & bass but has drum beats of dubstep. It is fast and heavy in bass. Here is an example. The last type of underrated EDM is called synthpop. Synthpop started in the 70s as a disco subgenre with lots of synthesizers used in it. Here is an

But I am very optimistic about the level of praise “Hollywood Hearts” will attain because it sounds uniquely captivating. It sounds absolutely amazing and it is that unspoiled RnB sound. Music genres these days have taken a lot of influence from other genres and the pure sound in most genres has gotten lost. Sometime you listen to a song and it is not that obvious to place it in a genre. However “Hollywood Hearts” is unmistakably that pure RnB sound.

A sense of elitism has arisen within musical genes, stemming from rock, punk, folk, etc. believing that they are valid and true forms of music, but that due to the way disco is produced, it fails to be a genre.

I have listen to countless different genres of music throughout my life. What kind of music I listen to can change dramatically, for example, I can be listening to country for a month then start listening to heavy metal rock the next.

Music is a universal language as it is accepted by the whole world even though some of us might not understand the physical language of the music that they are listening to. There are a variety of music genres for people to choose ranging from pop, rock, bop, techno, swing, rhythm and blues, hip hop, folk music, and many others including my personal favourite, jazz. Being the only daughter in the family with more male cousins than females had made my music preference a little bit different from the other girls that I came across. When I was a kid, I was a bit boyish with baggy pants and shirt up to the point whereby my big brother and I (which is five years older than I am) can share outfit due to my new found love of hip hop music.
